Slog AM: Sound Transit Killed 2,000 Fish, Gen Z Is Talking Less, JD Vance Says War in Iran Isn’t a War

Sound Transit’s light rail floating bridge on Lake Washington has killed approximately 2,000 fish since opening in March, mostly perch and bass with some salmon. The agency believes cables resting on the lake bottom are responsible and removed them two weeks ago. The fish deaths occurred despite ecological protections being a requirement for the bridge’s construction.
